So for some context here, Mermaids a UK charity whose CEO flew her son out to Thailand at 16 to get his dick inverted, along with a few other organisations mostly notably LGBT Consortium (whose CEO Paul Roberts was the main witness today) have appealed against the Charity Commission's decision to grant LGB Alliance charity status. However, before they can challenge that decision it has to be determined if they're actually allowed to (if they have standing in this case), because it's basically unprecedented for one charity to file a claim like this against another. Which is what the current trial is about. And things are not going well for Mermaids side.

Today was a dumpster fire, under the questioning of EHRC Commissioner Akua Reindorf (who was previously involved in a review of the University of Essex where she stated Stonewall are clearly interpreting the law how they would like it to be rather than how it is), the aforementioned Paul Roberts said some pretty fucking stupid things. Including that it would be transphobic to state that a female can't be a gay man, that he personally doesn't know many butch/femme lesbian couples, that he's only skimmed the Cass report (despite his organisation signing a declaration criticising it) and that he doesn't know if men are stronger than women

So with all that being said "He at least said TWAW and TMAM" is probably about the best Mermaids can say
